In order for carrots to grow sweet, even, beautifully shaped and large, you need to properly prepare the soil for planting the crop.

First we need to decide on the place where we will cook.

The best options, according to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, are onions, zucchini, potatoes and tomatoes with garlic.

What nutrients are added?

In order for the quality of the soil to be truly high, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the selection of components for the nutrient mixture.

It is recommended to take compost or humus. They must be well rotted to become an ideal basis for fertilizer.

Three kilograms of the main component are sufficient per square meter.

We also add 250 grams of ash, 30 grams of superphosphate and ten grams of potassium salt based on the same area.

It is best to carry out the procedure in the second half of October. If you plan to plant carrots in the winter, then the bed should be covered with film after fertilizing.

In a month the soil will be ready for planting.
